The forum + all F4 members assembled

"Scholarship student, aren't you a beta? Why do you have an alpha pheromone suppressant on you?"

Lu Keyan said evenly, "Young Master Fu, I underwent secondary differentiation into an alpha."

Secondary differentiation? Interesting.

Lu Keyan really could spin that lie without a second thought.

"Do you remember what you promised me?" Gu Xiao took Lu Keyan's suppressant, but rather than injecting it into his neck, he raised his eyes to him. "Your red card hasn't been revoked."

Lu Keyan smiled. "Of course I haven't forgotten. I've been making good use of the dog you gave me, Young Master Gu. I just wonder when you'll give me something to do."

Fu Huai's expression was rather unpleasant.

He had only learned who the Lu Keyan standing before him was in the past two days.

The "Lu" in Lu Keyan really was the Lu family's "Lu."

As an illegitimate son of the Lu family, what was he trying to do, lying low in this academy?

Lu Keyan's smile held just the right touch of ingratiation, as though he genuinely wanted to be Gu Xiao's dog.

Since he belonged to the Lu family, he did indeed qualify to be A-Xiao's dog.

Gu Xiao seemed utterly unaware of, and indifferent to, Lu Keyan's actual identity.

His hand loosened. With a crack and a crash, the expensive vial of suppressant smashed against the floor.

There was a faint smell of alcohol, too.

What a foul smell.

"You want me to use your suppressant?" Gu Xiao's lips curved in a smile. "Are you worthy?"

The small commotion drew everyone's attention.

When they realized it was that scholarship student who dared provoke Gu Xiao again, their expressions turned rather peculiar.

Dark Web.

Aisili Noble Academy's private forum had existed for several years. Even if the F4 knew about it, they would have disdained visiting.

Once a thread was posted, it was swiftly pinned to the top.

Topic: Having nothing means you can do whatever you want, huh? Not naming who's jealous.

All you big As and little Os-never mind the Bs-did you smell it? Everywhere His Lordship goes, there's a faint floral fragrance.

How many years has it been? We've played house with His Lordship for so long, and still no company has developed a matching perfume?

Post 1: Already going off-topic in the opening post? OP, do you want to discuss our sweet-smelling lord or be jealous of that pauper? What do you mean, playing house? This is our glorious king's game!

Post 2: Those two things don't conflict. Say, with His Lordship's abilities, why doesn't he start a harem? Those three would definitely rank as consorts. With my looks, surely I could snag a place as a talented attendant.

Post 3: So cocky. Watch out, or you'll get a red card.

Post 4: What are you scared of, upstairs? His Lordship doesn't even know this forum exists. Once the daily wipe happens, nobody knows who's who.

Post 5: Did you get pictures earlier? His Lordship's legs are so long. Whether they're stepping on my pecs or slung over my shoulders, they'd be perfection. Does anyone get the appeal of black leather shoes with red soles...

Post 55: He really smells so good. Your Lordship, just keep radiating your charm without restraint.

Post 56: That pauper went up to him again. What gives him the right?

Post 57: Having no driftwood to cling to, I guess.

Post 101: Holy shit, did you hear? The scholarship student belongs to the Lu family. Yes, that Lu family. He's actually an alpha, and apparently his mental power is really strong!

Post 102: ???

Post 103: That's fake, right? He used that false identity to get close to His Lordship?

Post 369: It's His Lordship's nineteenth birthday today. Will he pick a lucky omega?

Post 370: Why can't it be an alpha? What if His Lordship prefers being pleasured!

Furtive glances fell on Lu Keyan.

He, however, stared fixedly at the shattered glass vial.

"Sorry, my hand slipped." Gu Xiao tipped his chin at Lu Keyan. "I'm not feeling well right now. Could I trouble you to clean up this rubbish? It would be troublesome if someone accidentally got hurt."

Fu Huai chuckled. "A-Xiao, you're so kind."

"Not especially. I'm just an ordinary good person." Gu Xiao clicked his tongue and said displeasedly, "What, can't you understand human speech?"

Before Lu Keyan could move, Lin An appeared behind him and kicked him in the kneecap.

He was forced to his knees.

"Seriously," Lin An said unhappily, "Young Master Gu is concerned about passersby and asked you to help with a little work. Why does it have to be so difficult?"

As he spoke, Lin An looked ingratiatingly at Gu Xiao. "Young Master Gu, you really are kindhearted."

"Mm." Gu Xiao let the single syllable escape his throat, stretched out his long legs, and crossed them. "Pick it up."

Lin An hadn't had time to hover around Gu Xiao these past few days because he had been searching the whole world for a suitable birthday present for him.

As a qualified lackey, he naturally couldn't resign himself to falling behind.

Yet the moment he returned, he discovered that Lu Keyan had angered Young Master Gu again.

Naturally, without another word, he taught him a lesson.

"Yes, Young Master Gu."

After Gu Xiao's toss, the little vial had shattered into scattered pieces.

The shards had flown across an area of three square meters. Gathering all of them by hand was no easy task.

Without a word, Lu Keyan slowly gathered the tiny fragments into his palm, bit by bit.

The glass shards cut his palm, giving off a faint smell of blood.

Gu Xiao's face turned cold. "Why is there blood again? I hate blood."

Lu Keyan looked up and said cautiously, "Young Master Gu, I'm sorry. I'll try not to cut my palm."

"A-Xiao, I haven't seen you in half a month. How come you've got yourself a new dog?"

An amused voice drifted in from afar.

It was Ji Chuan.

He had finally met the last member of the F4.

The other man had dyed his hair a brilliant gold, so dazzling that it hurt Gu Xiao's eyes.

Feng Ji followed behind Ji Chuan and sneered. "A-Chuan, you brat. If I hadn't dragged you off that huge bed on the island, would you never have come back?! It's A-Xiao's birthday today!"

"Why are you so angry?" Ji Chuan shrugged helplessly. "I'm back, aren't I?"

Ji Chuan's gaze landed on Lu Keyan.

He licked his lips, his eyes brimming with the delight of spotting prey.

"A-Xiao, can you give me this dog of yours?"

As expected of someone who only liked alphas, he had seen through Lu Keyan's true sex at a glance, something even Fu Huai hadn't known.

Gu Xiao chuckled. "If you have what it takes, be my guest."

"Darling." Ji Chuan held out his hand to Lu Keyan, his voice tender and affectionate. "Did you hear that? Care to get up?"

Feng Ji scoffed. "A-Chuan, how did your eyes go lame after one trip away? This pauper is a beta."

"If you consider yourself a beta, I'm happy to play along."

Ji Chuan winked at Lu Keyan, reached out, and forcibly pulled him up.

Standing straight, Lu Keyan was a little taller than Ji Chuan.

Ji Chuan: "..."

This alpha was too tall.

Never mind not being as pretty as A-Xiao; even his height wasn't as suitable as A-Xiao's.

"Young Master Ji, sorry." With a little effort, Lu Keyan broke free of Ji Chuan's grip. "I haven't finished cleaning up the rubbish Young Master Gu asked me to handle."

Ji Chuan's flicker of interest was stirred again.

He smiled. "It's just a little rubbish."

Ji Chuan raised his hand, and soon a robot vacuum swiftly cleaned up the area.

"Baby, no need to thank me," Ji Chuan said gently. "Consider this my first-meeting gift to you."

Lu Keyan looked at Ji Chuan and smiled as well. "Young Master Ji, this is our third meeting."

This scholarship student really was rather interesting.

No wonder A-Xiao kept making things difficult for him.

"Remembering it so clearly means you've had your eye on me for a while." Ji Chuan took Lu Keyan's hand. "Then may I invite you to be my dance partner tonight?"

The scene before him put Gu Xiao in quite a good mood.

The person he wanted Lu Keyan to seduce was Ji Chuan.

Yet Lu Keyan hadn't needed to do anything; Ji Chuan had taken the bait all on his own.

The F4 members were finally all assembled.

Gu Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, his pheromones unusually active...
